"DJ did an awesome job. Of the 3 contractors, that received my request, he was the first one who contacted me and really the only one. Which I am glad it was him, because I was very pleased with his services. He took the time to explain some things to me about the smart switches, and gave recommendations. Even after he was done, I was unsure of some wiring questions and he took my calls and explained things to me. Very pleased with his services and I would use him in the future if/when I need electrical work."

"Shawn responded quickly to my request for a bid for replacing my carport asphalt roof. His turn around time with the bid was quick and when I called him to tell him I wanted to hire him for the project he told me he would get back with me soon. Again, his turn around time was quick. He completed the project in one day then called me to tell me he had completed the project and when could we meet to review his work. We met that night and reviewed his work then discussed the problems I knew about and what else he had found, as hidden problem areas. I was so satisfied with his work and that there was no mess to be found, so I paid him on the spot. He gave me another business card and I have already given it to a friend of mine. I not only would continue to use him but I will recommend him to others."

Electrical questions, answered by experts

The standard copper wire gauge to use with any 30-amp circuit is a 10-gauge wire. The National Electric Code specifies a 10-gauge wire with appliances like water heaters running on 30 amps. If you try to use a smaller gauge wire, such as a 12 gauge, with a 30-amp breaker, you run the risk of the wire overheating and melting or causing a fire. Because of the safety hazards, the gauge of the wire is not an area to try to cut costs when connecting a 30-amp breaker to a water heater.

Yes, in some locations, it is required by the National Electric Code (NEC) to have a transfer switch installed for electrical emergencies. In addition to following electrical code, generator transfer switches ensure your home is fully protected during a power outage. By switching the power from the main breaker to the generator breaker, you can seamlessly operate your HVAC, lights, appliances, devices, and more during an emergency. 

Yes, you can put a GFCI outlet in almost any electrical outlet location. As long as the outlet is wired correctly back to a circuit breaker, you can likely replace the existing outlet with a GFCI outlet.

No. Blue wires and black wires are different. Even though both are used as hot wires, they serve different functions. Black wires are far more common in residential properties. They are always hot, can be positive or negative, and usually carry electricity from a power source to an outlet. Blue wires have a specialized usage in residential properties, generally as traveler wires, and are more common in commercial properties.

Rewiring an electric system in a house typically ranges between $2,000 and $9,000, but a simple project can cost as low as $1,500. More complex upgrades run $10,000 or higher. The price depends on the size of your home, how accessible the wiring is, the cost of materials, and local electrician fees.
